Galapatours Reviews

One of the best trips I have ever taken

This is one of the best trips I have ever taken I was worried the transportation from Quito to Baltra as there was no one in Quito would contact me from the trip provider and I was on my own however everything went seamlessly according the trip itinerary I got the airplane tickets and the ship boarding card at the airport where the people from Galapagos Legend was waiting for me after landing at the Baltra everything was taken care by the ship staffs The trip itself is fantastic and exceeded my expectations most of the stops were attracting and unique the landscape is beautiful and the animals were lovely the guides were knowledgeable the ship staffs were friendly and the food was nice

Great company

We have just returned from our 5 night 6 day trip on the amazing luxury Alya ship cruising the western islands of the GalapagosWe booked our trip through Galapatours and would totally recommend them Paola our advisor was efficient helpful knowledgeable and responsive in all communications The cruise ship which was in the luxury category was indeed luxurious in every way and the staff were outstanding

Absolutely FIVE star experience from

Absolutely FIVE star experience from the beginning to end Booking and planning a trip over the internet can be daunting but Hitomi answered all my questions and inquiries quickly and thoroughly Any worry I may have had quickly dissipated The Galapagos boat experience in itself was incredible the boat was beautiful food delicious we never went even close to hungry staff was attentive I felt like a VIP Most importantly the tour blew my mind i ve been lucky enough to travel all over the world and this trip is probably my favorite If you love nature and adventure this is the trip for you Don t even think twice And if you can plan it make sure Louis is your guide

Amazing Family Trip

It feels trite but truly the only way to describe Galapagos and the Legend is to say that it was the trip of a lifetime Everything was taken care of that we saw more than we ever could have expected to in our walks and deepwater snorkles that the guides were incredible and that the staff on the ship were lovely and so helpful Our hashtag for the trip was Galapagos-Overdelivers We highly highly recommend the Legend for a great family trip our 8- and 12-year old kids were so well taken care of and we were in a boat Go Boobies that was a lovely community and we and our kids made great trip friends

Great Trip

Wow We were very impressed by the entire experience We always felt supported from the moment we booked our trip until we boarded the flight back to the mainland after the trip Booking process was straightforward and when we had questions they were quickly answered something we really appreciated We were met by tour staff at Quito airport on the day of our departure to the Galapagos we were met by tour staff at the airport upon landing in Galapagos We had lots of activities every day of our cruise some of these snorkeling were new for us All of these were supervised by knowledgeable professional and bilingual staff and they quickly provided options that met our needs and allowed us to participate We were able to see all the animals birds and sites we had hope to Really a trip of a lifetime We would highly recommend this trip

Amazing trip

I can only agree to the other comments We had an amazing week We were upgraded from Nemo II to Nemo III and it was awesome The whole crew was very polite and supportive The hikes and snorkeling tours every day were super interesting and astonishing The food was a great mixture and very delicious Furthermore the trip was planned very good and our contact Hitomi was always available and supportive to answer all our questions in advanced I can only recommend to do this trip This was the best we ever did and we are traveling a lot Thanks to the whole crew and team

We had a perfect time on our cruise on

We had a perfect time on our cruise on the Alya I did a lot of research from the info on Galapatours com and booked through them They were quick to answer any questions that I had When we actually went on the trip since we booked the travel from the mainland through them they had someone at Quito airport to help us with the transit card luggage inspection and he had our boarding passes and luggage tags already On the Alya William and Jaime took great care of us along with the whole crew The ship is beautiful The crew works so hard and everyone was friendly Every day would be a hike in the morning and one in the afternoon and some snorkeling events on most days We combined 2 routes for a 10 day trip and saw most of the birds and animals along with the unique fauna and geology The only thing I can think of that was negative was that the water was pretty cold for snorkeling But that is nothing under anyone s control and we got used to it Along with many different fish sharks rays seals we also had a couple snorkeling excursions where there were Galapagos penguins It is a small ship - as most of the ships in the Galapagos are The food was good and plentiful and there were snacks and refreshments after every excursion They accommodated my daughter s vegetarian diet which we had notified them of at booking and always had an option for her Anyone expecting something like a big cruise ship might want to look into the available bigger ships but bigger ships are not for me And also be aware that it s an active vacation - lots of hikes on various terrain from easy to challenging transporting by panga For us it was perfect

We had a great trip

We had a great trip The boat guide and crew were professional and very accommodating The food and rooms were excellent The snorkeling hiking kayaking was all above our expectations We would not have changed anything

Galapagos by Boat the Bonita

The voyage on the BONITA was excellent- not only did the crew feed and entertain us well the activities off the boat hikes kayaking snorkling kept us very busy The nature encountered was mind blowing- so many opportunities to get up close to everything
